The Long Island Railroad Iceberg Explained!

The Long Island Railroad is the oldest continuously operating railroad in the United States, if not the world (not counting Strasburg, of course), and its history is one of the most interesting in American Railroading. As a native Long Islander who railfans the LIRR frequently, and considering the popularity of my American Railroad Iceberg video, I resist pursuing the idea of a Long Island Railroad Iceberg, so this way I could showcase the various little known but fantastic facts which the nation's busiest passenger railroad has to offer!
